<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, on November 16, 2015, the City Council continued the public
<br />hearing in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and
<br />the Redwood City Municipal Code, all applicable requirements of the State Planning
<br />and Zoning Law, the City Zoning Ordinance and the Downtown Precise Plan, to
<br />consider the appeals of the Nine-Story Project, and received and considered oral and
<br />documentary evidence on the appeals and application; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council considered the Revised Initial Study checklist,
<br />dated September 21, 2015, prepared by the City's Planning Division and its findings,
<br />the previously certified Downtown Precise Plan Program EIR (State Clearinghouse
<br />#2006052027), and the entire record of the administrative proceedings regarding
<br />the adoption of the Downtown Precise Plan (including without limitation the
<br />Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Plan attached to Resolution No. 15086
<br />adopted on January 24, 2011); and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council determined that the proposed Eight-Story
<br />Proposal, consisting of a Vesting Tentative Map, Downtown Planned Community
<br />Permit including one guideline deviation, and the Parking In-Lieu Fee Application
<br />would further the purposes of and appropriately implement the City of Redwood
<br />City General Plan, the Downtown Precise Plan, and applicable provisions of the
<br />Subdivision Map Act, the Redwood City Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance.
<br />
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
<br />CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />Section 1. The City Council, having independently heard, considered and
<br />weighed all the evidence in the record, including evidence presented by City staff, the
<br />Applicant, the Appellants and members of the public, and being fully informed of the
<br />Nine-Story Project, the Planning Commission’s decision, and the appeal, finds that the
<br />Appellants have not shown, based on evidence in the record, that the Planning
<br />Commission’s decision was made in error, that there was an abuse of discretion by the
<br />Planning Commission, that the Planning Commission’s decision was otherwise
<br />improper, or that the City’s notices, agendas, and appeal procedures were unlawful in
<br />any manner, and, in the exercise of its independent judgment, hereby denies the
<br />appeals and approves the Eight-Story Proposal consisting of a Vesting Tentative Map,
<br />Downtown Planned Community Permit including one guideline deviation, and the
<br />Parking In-Lieu Fee Application based on the following findings and subject to the
<br />Conditions of Approval set forth below. This determination is based on the entire
<br />record, including without limitation the application materials, the DTPP, 2011 DTPP EIR,
